The palestinian Ma’an News agency reports that palestinian medics suspect a teen was beaten by IDF soldiers.
Palestinian medical crews were summoned to a checkpoint in the northern West Bank Monday night and told that a Palestinian youth had been involved in a car accident there.
When crews arrived, however, they said there was no sign of a car accident, and 16-year-old Omar Omran Hussein from the nearby village of Azzun was suffering from severe bruising. He was being treated by an Israeli medical team.
Palestinian officials said Red Crescent medics were dismissed with no explanation as to how the teenager sustained his injuries, and said they believed he had been badly beaten.
A report in the Israeli press Tuesday morning said a teenager was detained throwing stones on the main road between Qalqiliya and Nablus.
Must have been beaten by soldiers. He was bruised, being treated by Zionists (in an obvious attempt to cover up the brutality), and who would possibly entertain the thought that a person throwing stones at passing cars could be involved in a car accident?!
The Palestine Telegraph goes one step further, stating as fact the teen’s beating at the hands of IDF soldiers, based on a supposed admission by an unnamed Israeli spokesperson.
A Palestinian youth was hospitalized yesterday after Israel soldiers severely attacked him in the northern West Bank city of Qalqilya.
Local sources confirmed that the youth identified as Omar Omran Hussein, 16, was evacuated to Israeli hospital to receive medication due to injures all over his body.
Israeli sources said that the Palestinian was injured in a traffic accident, while Palestinian ambulances arrived the area and found no indications for an accident.
According to witnesses, an Israeli ambulance evacuated the injured to an Israeli hospital.
Israeli spokesman said that the injured was beaten as after throwing stones at Israeli vehicles driving on the main road between Qalqilya and Nablus..
Needless to say, I have found no such admission anywhere in the Israeli news.
WAFA, the Palestine News and Info Agency, also reports the teen’s beating as fact. It seems the teen – who was apparently quiet about the attack in the first two reports and preferred to let medics deduce it and an anonymous Israeli spokesperson admit it – blabbed about it to his uncle before he was taken away. Either that, or his uncle happened to just be there at the time. Which is entirely possible, given uncle’s unparalleled wisdom, which also enabled him to see right through the Zionist mind trick that forced the teen to throw stones at cars in order to entrap him in to a beating.
As for being taken away for medical treatment, forget that! He was taken away for interrogation.
Israeli soldiers late Monday night attacked and arrested Omar Omran, a 15 year old Palestinian boy in Azzoun town, east of Qalqilya city in the north West Bank.
The soldiers set a trap for the boy, beat him brutally and took him away in an ambulance due to his injuries, according to Ahmad Omran, the boy’s uncle and mayor of Qalqilya.
Omran said the Israeli District Coordination Office (D.C.O) in Qalqilya told the boy’s parents that he is being held and interrogated, with no indication as to his health condition.
The boy’s parents said they hold the Israeli army fully responsible for their son’s life.
So there you have it, folks. Palestinian reporting at its finest. The sad thing is, people generally swallow it hook, line and sinker.
